All those people will directly benefit from working on the movie, then you get the various studio execs etc, the personal assistants, bodyguards etc etc, it's like a big tree really, it depends how far down the chain you want to go.. do you really want to include the bloke at woolies who sold the dvd?

I'm just a bit curious, though. I'm not meaning to sound harsh, Lizzie, but, you have access to the internet, you know what you're looking for, surely you have the best tool at your fingertips. Have a mooch about. It didn't take Stoo too long to find the cast and crew on IMDB

I'd say you could even try a different approach. Cameron Diaz is now the highest earning woman in Hollywood. It could perhaps be argued that the fame that that film brought her is worth more than the actual payoff and percentage of gross that she'll make. If she didn't land that role, maybe she wouldn't have landed Charlie's Angels etc etc. And thus the financial benefit whilst indirect might be greater for her than for any of the others involved, the fame being worth more than the paycheque if you will.

I don't know what's happened to Matt Dillon these days, or Ben Stiller (cameo in a Tenacious D video?) Or even the Farrelly brothers, but I think the future looks pretty good for Ms Diaz. All becuase of this film? Who knows...?

ZOOLANDER DUDE! (nah for real, watch it)

But yeah, 's good point. The Mask was her breakout role but TSAM was her breakthrough role.

Well, considering 20th Century Fox owns the film (according to an official site I looked up, but I'm sure they're lying... ), I'd guess it's not too unreasonable that good ol' Rupert Murdoch made a pretty penny. Git.

I know but I have no idea how to find who the actual highest paid person is, there is no definite proof so i'm at a loss

I think you may have been thrown a red herring with this question. As there's been a lot of talk recently about Cameron Diaz becoming the highest paid woman in Hollywood, you would think she earned highest from this.
Personally I'm inclined to agree that as both writers and producers, the Farrelly brothers were probably the highest-paid individuals concerned.
However, I also agree that the studio would have made a mint from it as well.

If it helps, the box office from the movie was $198.1 million of which $2 million was CD's salary (source Cameron Diaz biography - Starzcity)
